Description

Larvae offered multiple food choices in aquatic containers with instantaneous behavioral sampling over extended time periods to quantify feeding preferences.

Typical Equipment

  • plastic containers
  • paper clips
  • pond water

Output Measurements

  • percent time at food sources
  • feeding preference ratios
